So what's next for this year? Where do you go to move up another step? Remember...idle hands are the devils work!

We've been in the industry for some time, with the support given to us from the numerous forums, blogs, industry reps and so forth we're NOT comfortable where we are sitting currently...because comfort means you've stepped back and sat down.

We're taking more approaches to the general side of mechanics, taking strides in "going beyond the basics" (Quote property of APM thanks to a great friend Cory Hock aka Monkeybone Racing THE POD and !!!Check out the newest creation here!!! aka CH Conceptz). We want to keep going on with serving our clients with their vehicular needs.

We want our clients to have the mindset of allowing us to help in the “purchase” of products, rather than selling products. The guy at the car lot “sold” you a lemon where as the parts guy helps you “purchase” the right parts. We understand parts are tangible; service is something that you purchase PRIOR to acknowledging an outcome. Many times in our industry there are services that reflect little difference except peace of mind. Services and purchases of products also pertain to few key aspects in a circle of price, quality and convenience. There is a formula for this; we call it the value of a client.

Price is what you get from a deal, value; integrity, support, promise and guarantees are what your deliver to a client as a business…that’s the goal, that’s the aspiration, that’s the promise we always keep.

Our prices are competitive, but we believe the value we offer is what our clients need.

Our venture with the formula has allowed us to move with the times, to go beyond the basics and to manage our clients’ purchases and investments with integrity. I’m not writing this because I’m bored, I’m writing this to look at the future, take strides forwards not steps back and to allow our clients to know that we have that appreciation for the business they allow us to keep, regain and that the worth is beyond comparison.

Like our original goal stated when we came to the scene, there are no compromises to quality and craftsmanship.

Our services extended beyond the nominal and the standard that you get at other facilities. WHY??? Well, we love to show people that we don’t just repair a car or just get the car fixed up. We’ve always been able to promote and gloat about our profession because we can line up to a body shop, detailing facility, specialty shop for upholstery and interiors, general maint (yes, Toyota’s, Honda’s, F350 Super Duty’s and what not), tint and audio shop and be able to compete. We compete with the quality, the parts, the prices, the service and the value so that you can feel your making the right choice to use a one-stop shop that works for you.

So, once again, lets get this year to bring in even more services, even more parts, even more value into the industry and to our clients. On top of that, the gratitude we share with our clients for choosing us only betters us, humbles us and gives us more reach to better ourselves and who we are. So thank you, not just for helping us be where we are today, but thank you for allowing us to help you.

We know many of you have seen these types of pictures The slew with evo's everywhere and a lonely Subie here and there...I can say that as of today's date we are a full 50/50 split and seemingly moving well forward with the Subaru's.

A client had recently told me that it's because there is a lacking for a performance shop that pays such high attention to the little maint. things, as well as getting everything done in one shot! He himself was a bit taken back that in one shop, in one day he say tint's being done, a detail on a car and body work (I'll post those in the next clip) ONTOP of the general work and performance side.

Clips in the posts will explain more of what that is as well as some prices offered.

We've done more than a fair share of engine, from LSX's in 9 second GTO's all the way to rally engines in Mitsubishi's, Subaru's, Toyota's and Mazdas! Machining....it's always the downfall This show's just one of many "oops" from competitors. We take pride in it, it's not the cheapest, nor will it be the quickest, but it gets done with integrity and is treated as if it were to be installed in the highest and most pristine vehicles and names in the industry.

Everything from the simple scuff to get wet sanded and polished out all the way to the swirl marks and mild scratches. This is the Mild, the simple, the things we do for FREE on clients that come through the door with rendered services and parts purchased through out facility. Yes, this is that little bit of "beyond" that you find here at APM. WHY? Well, if your coming to us to get your car service, your entrusting us with your very expensive investment, why not make it a bit prettier since the years have taken a toll? THAT is who we are, that's what we do to show our appreciation in choosing APM.

You can get simple Mild services as separate entities as well if all youd like is a paint clean up and exterior detail. Interior clean up and details are also offered for very basic and simple costs, enough to show off a "like" new car for your date or giving your parents a ride to dinner...or just for one's pleasure.

The Wild, that is something we've been working on with a great person in the industry, they bring a standard that is bar non, hands down disgustingly good. From a laser to measure clear coat thickness to ensure that proper paint corrections can be done all the way to removing molding and tedious pieces to make sure the nooks and crannies are taken care of. The Wild system is something you can only find at detailing facilities for the exclusive and expensive, we know that the normal Joe would like something to, that's where we come in!

At APM, we strive to make sure that you have one place to take your car for everything it needs. From the general repair on your DD Toyota to the full show car prep on you custom paint job multi thousand dollar investment.

Fender rolling, we had an issue of having our sub-contracted fender roller guy work with the time frame of our clients, so we've decided to do our own thing. We've safely performed over 2 dozen vehicles (IS350, Evo8-9 and X, GR and GR STI and WRX, S13 and S14 240's, 3 and 5 series BMW's, A Maxima, C Class Mercedes, and a couple American cars) all for the simple fact of making sure that we can get it down and do it right. Dealing with multiple styles of paint, sheetmetal and body types we've prepared ourselves to even repair any flaws that might come up with heavier pulls through wet sanding and paint correction services to ensure that our clientele is completely satisfied with our services.

Fender Rolling service packages can even be free with certain APM suspension and setup work! PM for details!

Standard fender rolling services starting @ 50.00 a corner!

Tires, we've recently been able to work with a couple local facilities that offer not only a huge selection that is same day service but prices that are competitive and at times sooooo much lower than the internet's so called deals, it's a wonder why more people in the industry don't figure things out. No freight costs, same day services, a selection that is essentially the two largest internet tire sites combigned and a great deal of performance tires IN STOCK!

For the opportunity to have this access, we've also finally updated and repaired the in house tire machine and wheel/tire balancer! So now not only are the offerings we have on tires going to be great, but the prices for packages with mounting and balancing will be cheaper than your surplus stores!

Remember, we're here to serve our clients because we understand that a car is not just for sitting around a garage and looking pretty, it's an investment that has to get you to the grocery store, or your weekly mass, or visit the sic friend at the hospital! That's why we offer complimentary multi-point inspection with any of our on-rack services. Even getting tires installed calls for our APM Full Inspection (60.00 value in itself) for FREE!

Clear Bra Service, this is NOT done with 3M as 3M will fade and yellow overtime from the few times we've used it (and had to re-apply the right product). The material itself is a better quality and retains a lifetime no peel, bubble or chip warranty!

All OEM 30/60/90K service interval prices have dropped for the winter!

Brake jobs, simple gen. maint. and services packages are all being reduced as we know the winter can hit hard for anyone in the market and to help supplement the industry, all we can do is work with it!

Fluid top offs, vacuum, windsheild washed, lights checked, air pressure checked and filled as well as next maint. interval printouts standard with APM services!

As you guys see, I use the word investment a LOT, clients should be aware that there are still places that work with the market, and understand the industry, the rotated 6266 STI builds are getting less and less...that's why we're here to ensure that your satisfied and grinning about what you own and drive and to make sure it starts up every morning with out hesitation.

I'm not here just to sell parts but help people sustain the life and fun of their cars.

Cutting and trimming of the skin are the first steps...measure twice, inspect, measure again THEN cut.

You'll have to cut the inner liner accordingly so that you can weld it back to the skin to re-create a solid QP.

Tacking it in place then going over it to be filled properly takes time, it's a timely process.

Grind off the residual so that you have as smooth as a seem can bee.

We're doing a two step sealer. The next series of picture I'll post on the QP will reflect that.

Not only are we using a seam sealer (as pictured), but an epoxy as well (pictured later). The seam sealer helps to fill in the area of the welds but it's not as smooth as one would love, it does prevent the tire to be mauled just in case it were to ever rub.

The epoxy is to create a virtually smooth finish. This is so that when the over fenders are installed the backing sealer has as much contact and surface area as possible...just in case.

Next up, stiffening of the wing due to major oscillation from the holes being a bit large in the QP and the mounting hardware needing more lock.

You can tow a car with this sucker now!

Yeah, that thing looks killer. I love that way that thing turned out, props to the guys in the back for really taking their time and doing it like OEM.

Thanks, we loooove hearing that clients appreciate us as much as we do them! Trust me, it always gets me giggity!

That car was literally one of the first Subaru swaps we ever did. Decided to go big and just do it so the owner (Maciek) had a great find on a total swap over and pulled the trigger. That thing was unseen but when it blew the doors off the STI that was next to it they knew haha.

The owner came by last year and the car was still running strong, no issues and he said it would still put a smile on his face. For being one of the first swaps, running 6 years later it makes us proud!
